Objective To compare fees for biopsy, treatment procedure, repair, and 2‐month follow‐up for nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) treatments: electrodesiccation and curettage (ED & C), excision, and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). METHODS: A cost comparison of 936 primary NMSCs diagnosed in 1999/2000 at a University affiliated dermatology practice. Clinical data was from medical record review. 2007 Medicare Fee Schedule costs determined fees for surgical care. Pearson chi‐square tests, t‐tests and analysis of variance compared fee differences. Linear regression determined independent effects of tumor and treatment characteristics on fees. Results Mean fees/lesion were 463forED&C, 1,222 for excision, and 2,085forMMS(p<.001).Foralltreatments,primaryprocedurecostswerehighest(38%,45%,and41%).TotalrepairfeeswerehigherwithMMS( 735) vs excisions (197).Feeswerehigherforheadandnecktumors(p<.001),H‐zonetumors(p<.001),andtumorssmallerthan10mmindiameter(p=.04).Regressionmodelspredictedthatthetreatmentfeeswouldbe 2,109 for MMS and 1,252forexcision(p<.001).Tumorsizegreaterthan10mmindiameter(added 128), tumors on the head and neck (added 966),andMMS(added 857 vs excision) were independently related to higher fees (p<. 001). Conclusion Even after adjusting for risk factors, MMS has higher fees than excision for primary NMSC. Repairs accounted for the majority of this difference. These fee comparisons provide a basis for comparative effectiveness studies of treatments for this common cancer.
